to request the toplevel window to be full-screen size,

        $window->set_size_request ( Gtk::Gdk::screen_width (),
                                    Gtk::Gdk::screen_height () );

be careful also to specify $window->set_resizable ( 1 ) or the user will
be stuck with a non-shinkable full-screen window.


you need to specify the expand and/or fill properties for the various
widgets to get them to take up the desired space on the screen when the
window resizes.

have a look at the theory of packing widgets:

    http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/ch-packingwidgets.html

this tutorial is for the C libraries, but the concepts and method names
map directly to the perl modules.  this should help you figure out
what's going on.

i haven't tried this sort of thing yet, but i imagine you should pack a
GtkImage next to your GtkLabel and GtkEntry widgets --- this is how
you'd do that in Gtk+-1.x.
